Never knew this fish had such a funny name. No one can explain. But let’s put the name aside for now, the important thing is that the fish makes the family meal more delicious. Like the catfish (same family, but red tail, bigger), the fish has a lot of small bones, but in return, the fish meat is fatty, soft and sweet. Unlike some other freshwater fishes, porpoises (including bream) only remove the intestines, clean the gills, cut off the fins and tail. Very quick. Absolutely do not scrape fish scales, because the fish scales are soft, crunchy, strange to eat. In addition, this fish scale should be accidentally crushed, making the fish meat bitter, so the villagers just let it be. Given the job by my mother, my brother and I quickly prepared some unpleasant fish, carefully placing them in a bamboo basket to drain. Mother gently put the basket of fish into the pot to marinate. As the name of the dish is “potato braised”, so my mother never seasoned it too salty, nor sweet. Depending on the taste of each place, each person has a different way of seasoning. But do not add cooking oil or add fat to create a very greasy taste because the nature of the meat and fish head is already fat. To color the broth, you can use coconut-colored water or molasses sugar. Marinate fish for 30 minutes for firm meat. Then, my mother brought it to the stove to cook. Wood stove has the advantage that in addition to saving money on gas, it also has the advantage that the firewood burns evenly and smoldering, so the fish cooks slowly, without having to watch. When the fish water is boiling, evenly absorbed, add one and a half cups of filtered water and cook until the fish is cooked, then season again and then turn off the stove. Do not overcook the fish, it is no longer crispy, but it is crushed. Add finely chopped scallions (or basil) and pepper to enhance the flavor and keep the stomach warm. Mom gently scooped up the broth and fish on a plate. Cut a piece of fresh lemon, mother squeezed it on the fish plate. The special braised dish there, without the sourness of the lemon is missing an important part. The basket of field vegetables picked by the father behind the dike was also placed on the dining table. The rice tray is simple but cozy. Always, after the word “invite the whole family to eat rice”, I quickly pick up the vegetables with chopsticks because I love raw vegetables. Wow, the vegetables, watercress and water need to be rolled up like a spring roll and then put into the chopsticks to dip the broth in the broth. How did the fat, slightly sour, and sweet leopard taste permeate the raw vegetables? Because this fish has many bones, it must be skillful in how to pick it up and know how to eat it to fully enjoy the delicious taste. Use a spoon or chopsticks to push the fish meat horizontally, the meat will drift along each fiber, leaving the fish skeleton intact. After eating this back side, turn over to the back side. Don’t forget to use the fish head, it’s very crunchy (but remember to leave out the two fisheye balls). Putting a piece of rice in my mouth with cod meat, I felt all sorts of flavors in the tip of my tongue – wanting to eat forever even though my stomach was full. Above all, the most delicious taste is the taste of the countryside, the sacred love of a mother for her family.

For a long time, the two became acquainted. However, , after that, Truong Phuong’s father still could not conquer sickness. His death made his daughter very sad. Truong Phuong at that time was a child, also considered Van Truong Lam as a family, so he relied on him for a long time. Thanks to the familiar doctor by his side, Truong Phuong gradually forgot the pain of losing his father and became happy again. She was very grateful to the doctor and formed a deep friendship between them. After spending time together, they fell in love and eventually became married. When they got married, Truong Phuong was 28 years old, and Van Truong Lam was 73 years old. At that time, Truong Phuong’s mother wanted her to marry a young man from a nearby village, even accepting their home ceremony. However, Truong Phuong’s “stubborn temperament” at that time made everyone unable to convince her. More importantly, she not only refused her mother’s request, but also decided to marry Van Truong Lam immediately. The incident caused a stir in public opinion in the village. Everyone thought that the girl was over-dressed and would have to regret it later. In the end, Truong Phuong and Van Truong Lam also achieved their goal. After getting married, they still gave birth to a baby boy. The couple also participated in the show “Happiness to knock on the door” on television, which surprised the audience with their post-marriage life, extremely simple, despite their normal living conditions. But the breath of a happy life filled the house like many other families. Truong Phuong stays at home to take care of his children and do chores in his spare time. Van Truong Lam is still the main source of income and the breadwinner of the family, he often visits home to visit for patients. Van Truong Lam loves Truong Phuong very much, because every time he comes home, he considers whether to bring something such as household appliances or clothes to Truong Phuong. When the couple looked at each other, their eyes filled with love and hope. In the past, villagers who used to see this as a joke always asked Truong Phuong if she would regret it. But no matter how many people ask, Truong Phuong always insists that he has no regrets. Now, people in the village that used to not take this relationship seriously also begin to send their blessings to them. Today, more and more people are pessimistic about their marriage, feeling that the marriage is not as good as they thought. But for this couple, on the contrary, they are even happier and more peaceful than normal couples. Looking at Truong Phuong and Van Truong Lam so happy, many people will wake up and realize that love is always so warm. However, many questions are raised around the age gap so much, whether they have any difficulty in raising children. Most people believe that the large gap between the two sides easily causes a generation gap. When faced with anything, a wife may have a more flexible resolution or attitude, while an older husband may be more stubborn and rigid. If neither side gives in, the relationship will turn into a game of tit-for-tat and will inevitably deteriorate. The large age gap means that older people will leave the world sooner, and those who stay will endure loneliness while alone. Conversely, if couples are the same age, they may spend more time together. This way, the longer they are together, the longer they will be with the children. In addition, in terms of children’s education, the pairs of “deviated chopsticks” are also often faced with conflicting opinions more often. Today, education is increasingly developing, because the young and the old receive different educational environments, so they will definitely give their own opinions in the process of educating children. Parents’ educational differences will not only affect their relationship but also their children. So in a family with such a large age gap, how can children have a correct view of the two words “family”? First of all, the relationship between parents must be harmonious. Parents should not lose their temper because of disagreement, because it will affect the family atmosphere. Children are very sensitive and can easily feel their parents’ feelings, and at the same time, they also develop a mentality quickly. In order for children to have a correct view of marriage and love, first of all, the love between parents must be harmonious, children must feel the love of their parents and the warmth of the family. For example, Truong Phuong might tell the child that she loves her husband very much, and the couple loves you very much, even though the father may leave later, but his love for the child is always something to be cherished to cherish. . At that time, the child will mature and will know how to cherish himself and others.

Strange creature in rice field in Huay Nam Rak village.

In particular, recently many witnesses in Thailand reported seeing an entity hovering in the air. They think it is an alien. How bad is it?

Strange creatures cause a stir

Early in the morning of August 31, 2005, the small village of Huay Nam Rak, located in Mae Jan district, Chiang Rai province, Thailand, about 780 kilometers north of Bangkok, seems to have become the destination of a tourist from there. other sex.

That morning, more than a dozen villagers near the area’s rice fields are said to have witnessed a humanoid creature hovering, about 75 centimeters tall, yellow skin, big red eyes, large head and ears, Small mouth, no arms, and thin legs.

The first person to see this entity was a man named Sawaeng Bunratchasak. At that time, he was cycling across a field when he saw this strange creature floating in the air.

At first, he thought it was a scarecrow, but when it flew up and moved like a living creature, even looked directly at him and nodded, he realized he was mistaken. Immediately, the man rode his bicycle in panic, returning to tell the others what he had just witnessed.

Curious people rushed to the scene to verify it and they saw the mysterious entity, believed to have been hovering around the clearing for over an hour.

Some describe it to look like a child, while others claim it resembles a robot or cartoon doll, as its movements jerk up and down and unnatural. Some people also believe it to be a ghost … In the end, aliens are a popular opinion.

This entity hovered across the field, seemingly with some force, nodding occasionally to viewers or giving them a “as if asking for help” look, then suddenly flew up and disappeared in the sky. God.

Some witnesses described the entity as being stretched and turned black, before soaring into the sky like a rocket, while others said it had soared into a glowing ball of light. in the sky. A witness named Sawaeng Boonyalak, 35 years old, said of the creature:

• The alien is about 70 cm tall, has golden skin and flat chest. Its mouth is very small, a hairless head, and its eyes and ears are also unusually large. Floating near the ground, it suddenly flew up to a treetop. After more villagers came to see it, it soared in a dazzling beam of light in the sky.

When news of the strange phenomenon spread, hundreds of curious people began flocking to the fields, including journalists. Local officials have opened an investigation into the matter, but there is no specific evidence of the rumored creature.

There were no traces of damaged rice in the field, no trace of this entity stepping on the ground, only the footprints of curious people who came to see it.

Witnesses sketched out the strange creatures they saw.

Aliens or dolls?

Unfortunately, the rural poor farmers see the strange entity but don’t have a camera to record it. However, they outlined what they saw.

The police suspect this incident, claiming the witnesses had been drunk and looked goosebumps, but everyone confirmed they were completely awake. In the peaceful village, where phenomenon like this had never happened, created a lively public opinion at the time.

Later, Tongmuan Pochailoet, a resident of a nearby village, recalled that he found an old helium-filled doll stuck in a tree at the beginning of the month and had recovered to hang outside his home, as a dummy. This doll, he said, is 90 cm tall, has an oversized head and small limbs.

It was effective in repelling birds that threatened his crops, but unfortunately lost it in a storm, two days before the strange phenomenon occurred in the fields in the village of Huay Nam Rak.

Thus, Tongmuan Pochailoet is certain that the entity seen is his lost helium doll. He said he did not speak earlier for fear of offending the villagers of Huay Nam Rak. He drew the sketch of his inflatable doll for the reporters, who in turn showed it to the witnesses.

However, they all said it did not look like the “alien” they had seen. The creature they saw could not be an inanimate doll but was very alive, moved its legs and head, and even looked directly at the viewer and reacted to them.

It also moves intelligently with its own power, sometimes even blocking the wind, and then shoots straight up into the sky. Those who saw it guessed it was not a helium doll.

Wisit Sittisombat, Mae Jan County Chief, did not comment on how many people visited Huay Nam Rak village, as there was no reason to stop them. On the positive side, villagers can make money selling food and drinks to tourists.

What is this strange entity really? Is it really a helium-pumped doll? If so, why not many people determine? Or is this a product of the imagination of simple, uneducated villagers? Either way, this phenomenon created excitement in a peaceful village at that time.
